McAfee has posted a blog entry recently about an application which entices a user to download it to get free mp3 files. The filename of this file is PLAY_MP3.EXE and when it is run, it will install a potential unwanted adware application.

Sophos detected this program as PlayMP3z and the MP3 files are detected as Troj/Wimad-E. The blog entry at Sophos notes that the URL from where the installer is downloaded has been blocked since the beginning of this month and they consider the site as ‘High Risk’.

Corporate users should not worry about this issue since they are unlikely to be at risk.
